You are hypnotized by NWO Perry.
Did you notice that he was way down near the bottom in Iowa?
He’s going to fold his pup tent as fast as he propped it up. Nobody is going to spend money on an essential no-show.
Wow.
He was near the bottom on the very day he announced with no effort to participate in the Iowa straw poll and having not set foot in the Iowa State Fair.
Yet your girl Sarah inserted herself into the mix, showed up to gladhand at the fair and didn’t get nearly as many votes under the exact same circumstances (no organized effort to garner any straw poll votes).
OK I got it. Thanks.
That's an interesting prediction. I have another one.
Bachmann and Romney are going to team up. Bachmann isn't top ticket material, but she's a tough conservative attack dog. Romney has money and presidential bearing for days, but no actual credentials. They need each other, with political symmetry that no other candidates have.
Even as the primaries heat up, people will notice that she refuses to draw any Romney blood, just as she hasn't until now. God help her if they team up early, or she'll become persona non grata on FR.
Pawlenty, Gingrich, Santorum, Cain and Huntsman will drop out within the next two months, maxiumum. By the winter it will be down to Bachmann, Romney and Perry. By the time the nomination is over, it will be down to Perry.
Palin might change that, but her window to jump in is passing as we type. If she's not in within a week, her odds of stopping Perry before the old guard and the grass roots coalesce around him will drop off fast. I get that you don't like Perry, but he negates a lot of demand for Palin politically. He chose a very good time to jump in and steal her thunder.
For all the Sun Tzu applause that Palin gets (and deservedly so, I would note), she's been beaten to key political terrain by another politician. The land between the establishment (Romney) and the grass roots (Palin). If she doesn't act fast, he'll consolidate and hold it.
Romney has no options, other than to link up with Bachmann and hope his cash and her fire is enough to seal the deal.
